As a wave of new sustainability legislation comes into force in Europe, luxury brands are increasingly required to implement and report on the steps that they take to ensure that their supply chain is free from forced labour. In their article, King & Spalding lawyers Sir Max Hill, Aaron Stephens and Peter Hood discuss how luxury brands could risk criminal prosecution. They write: "For some commodities, this is proving to be difficult, if not impossible. What’s more, in light of a recent judgment from the English courts, companies importing high-risk commodities are now at risk of criminal investigation and prosecution in the UK." https://lnkd.in/g2kNSRU4 #luxurylaw #forcedlabour #prosecution #supplychain #sustainability #legislation

The modelling industry is buzzing with questions about whether artificial intelligence (AI) will replace human fashion models on the runway. Foley & Lardner LLP’s Jeffrey Greene looks at how AI is revolutionising the fashion and beauty industries and issues around bias, disclosure, right of publicity and copyright. Clearly, AI is here to stay, he writes. "Fashion companies and brands should look at AI as an asset and a means to unlock opportunities that propel their businesses forward. Meanwhile, models, designers and creatives should look at AI through the lens of a collaborative approach with brands, knowing that they are an essential component to bring authenticity, genuine emotion, personal experiences and character to the table. In combination, this will help create an enhanced and improved consumer experience." #luxurylaw #fashion #models #beauty #bias #publicity #copyright #AI #artificialintelligence #runway #IP https://lnkd.in/gNc93cHk

Luxury companies exporting and importing products to Mexico must evaluate if, as part of a licensing agreement, royalties and licence fees for using a product’s IP rights are subject to duty payments, writes Foley & Lardner LLP's MARCOS Carrasco Menchaca. He explains: "We often hear about global companies, particularly those in the fashion, apparel and beauty industry, as title holders of intellectual property rights such as trademarks, trade names, patents and copyrights. Oftentimes, those companies grant licensing agreements to third parties, either related or not, to use their IP rights for the manufacture, distribution and/or marketing of products exported from one country to be imported into another. These licensing agreements are usually subject to royalty or licence fee payments upon use." #luxurylaw #customs #duties #IP #royalties #licencefees #Mexico https://lnkd.in/eQjMN36r

AI is set to have a bigger impact on advertising than any other industry, including advertising for luxury, write Freeths' IP lawyers Simon Barker and Chris Musgrave. In their article, they provide a high-level overview of the risks and rewards of using AI in luxury advertising. "Personalisation is the ultimate luxury customer experience. Generative AI makes it possible to have a more direct relationship with consumers and to create content that previously would have been too time-consuming, giving demanding consumers something unique," they explain. #luxurylaw #advertising #brands #AI #content #IP brands. https://lnkd.in/ggd-E483
